I love it! Button prompts for how to do things would be super helpful - it took a while to figure out enter progresses dialog and the left mouse button swings the sword. Mossmallow is adorable <3

fun, cutesy little adventure game; the art, music, and dialogue is really nice. I can see this being quite cool if you continue development.

It took me a little bit to figure out how to progress the text when talking to someone, i think the same button to interact and progress text would work better personally :D

This was delightful, the art, the music the lil guys, dialog, everything about this is fantastic. You've all nailed the vibes, aesthetic and gameplay of something really solid here. I'll be keeping an eye on this one, well worth developing into a full game.

Only one issue found, opening options & credits menu gets you stuck, causing a force close.

We are aware of the credits button bug apologies for your inconvenience and thank you for the feedback <3

I loved the vibes and music to this game. Very pretty art and cute characters! The music really is peaceful. I love the idea of the game, and the maze was also very nice!! Reminded me of Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, if you ever played that game.

This is so cute! The attention to detail on all of the scenes made it so very visually appealing !! I did notice a couple bugs with the teleportation areas sending me to the wrong places ( and once I teleported back to the house by swinging my sword LMFAOOO ) but it was just a little giggle. I could very much see this as a cute simple story rpg :). Insane amount of level creation in the time spent, be proud !!

This is such an impressive project to make in such a short amount of time and I can't wait to see what comes of it!! I got sucked in almost instantly and would totally play a completed version.  The artwork is gorgeous and the dialogue is fun, my favourite character is the Non-Evil Rolly Polly but the Pumpkin is a close second. The music is also really beautiful and soft and gentle and fits the game perfectly and I loved listening to it. The little bit of combat it has so far, while simple, is pretty enjoyable and I didn't find any issues with it. I really like the minigames (the maze and slide puzzle) and I think it'll be awesome if there's more of them in the full game.

There are a few issues of note, but I wouldn't say they're too big. The dialogue runs too slow for my liking, although being able to skip by pressing enter did help. The grammar isn't consistent, some lines having no punctuation while others do, some sentences starting with capital letters while others aren't, some "I"s not capitalised while some are. Forgivable, given this is just a demo made on a time crunch and I'm sure it's an easy fix but this stuff always just stands out to me in games haha. Also some dialogue was a little too long to fix into boxes properly, and end up spilling out. One of these lines being "Sorry i don't know anything about hearthstones but be careful on your adventures" there were others but that's the only one I noted down. 

I think it'd be worth changing the button to advance the dialogue being either F, E or left mouse click as switching my hand between enter and the mouse was a little annoying (I didn't know when the combat was going to come up, and I imagine it'll be more of an annoyance in the full game.)

Also other non-dialogue specific related issues, there's one gap in the maze where the collision boxes are too tight for Mossmallow to get through, nothing that got in the way of me completing and exiting the maze and I didn't notice it until I was on my way out but it is there. The player can still move during dialogue and the pause menu, I assume that isn't intentional. I couldn't get out of the options menu and had to restart the game and the home screen doesn't exactly fit my screen, it's a little too short, but I think that specifically is a bit tricky to work around.

But yeah don't let all my complaints get in the way, this was really fun and cute and I love the characters, hoping to see more of this project!! Absolutely adorable and made a bright start to my day. 

Sorry about the long yap, new to itch.io not really sure if there's comment etiquette and what to do, haha.

The dialogue was added last minute though was written before hand by me being dyslexic grammer isnt perfect I would get somebody else to do the writing in the future version making sure theyd fit inside the boxes, and as for the hole in the maze it was intentional so my character can do a funny little dance but will be removed in the future as for the pause menu that is now a noted bug thank you for your feedback

This is such an adorable game. Doing an entire RPG (even if it's a short/unfinished one) is one heck of an accomplishment! I loved the non-evil rolly polly.  I did have a few issues with the menu, I couldn't get out of the settings menu without closing the game, but that might have just been me and my computer. Thanks for sharing this, played through the whole thing!

Developer(+1)

The setting thing is a current known bug its very rare usually caused by pressing the credits button at the moment Sorry for the inconvenience
